Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best fills in the blank:

    One hundred centimeters make ___ meter.
    Solution
    Option A is correct because it denotes the non specific, singular noun 'meter'. It's also synonymous with the number 'one'. Option B is incorrect because it's used for nouns which begin with a vowel. Option C is incorrect because the noun in the given statement is not a specific noun, but a general one. Option D is incorrect because it's a demonstrative used for plural nouns that have been mentioned before.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the article(s) in the following sentence:

    The man is flying a kite.
    Solution
    There are three articles namely 'a', 'an' and 'the'.  'a', 'an' are stated as indefinite articles whereas 'the' is a definite article.

    Option B - 'The' is an article, 'is' is an auxiliary verb. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'The' is an article, 'is' is an auxiliary verb, and 'a' is an article. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Is' is an auxiliary verb. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'The' is the definite article and 'a' is an indefinite article. Thus option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify the articles in the following sentence:

    A bird is flying in the air.
    Solution
    Option C is correct because both (a, the) are articles, the definite article 'the' modifies 'air' and the indefinite article 'a' modifies 'bird'. Option A is incorrect because both the words are nouns. In option B, 'a' is correct but 'in' is a preposition, hence option B is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the first word is a verb and the second is a preposition.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct or no article:

    In the group were a lawyer and _____ actress.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, there are two nouns mentioned in the 'group', 'lawyer' and 'actress', they're named by their professions, hence we know they're two people and not one person. Hence an article is used before each noun and option D is incorrect. The noun 'actress' is non-specific, we use indefinite articles 'a' or 'an' to modify non-specific nouns. Option A is incorrect because 'a' is used for nouns that begin with a consonant, and 'actress' does not begin with a consonant. Option B is correct because 'an' is used before nouns that begin with a vowel, and 'actress' begins with the vowel 'a'. Option C is incorrect because the noun 'actress' is non-specific, it isn't mentioned which particular actress.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable article from the options given.
    Mother Teresa worked for _______ poor. [Basic]
    Solution
    Articles are the words 'a, an, the' that modify nouns. They define a noun, by indicating whether they are specific or non-specific.
    Option C: When an adjective 'poor' refers to a group or class of people, then the adjective functions as a noun. In that case, we use the definite article 'the'.
    In this sentence, 'poor' refers to a large group of people who are poor. Hence, we use 'the'. So option C is correct.
    Option A: 'A' refers to a non-specific noun, it refers to a noun whose identity is not known. Also, it is generally used for singular nouns. For e.g. 'I saw a man in ragged clothes.' In this sentence, 'poor' refers to a plural group of people.
    Option B: Similarly, 'an' refers to a non-specific noun. The only difference between 'a' and 'an' is that 'a' is used for nouns that begin with a consonant, ('a man', where 'm' is a consonant) and 'an' is used for nouns that begin with a vowel ('an apple', 'a' is a vowel).
    Hence A and B are incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect because the article 'the' is used here.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable articles:
    After the day's labour, Raghu felt sleepy so he went to ______ bed.
    Solution
    Option D)NO article is the correct option as it is obvious that Raghu goes to sleep to his bed.
    After the day's labour. Raghu felt sleepy so he went to bed.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable article:
    Ravi's father went to ___ school to meet the principal.
    Solution
    1. 'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
    2. 'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
    Option A is correct  as 'The' is used as a definite article for a particular noun, and this sentence talks about the particular school to which Ravi's father went. Option C is incorrect as 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound. Hence 'an school' is incorrect grammatically. Option B is incorrect as 'A school' implies to any random schoolOption D is incorrect as the blank requires an article in order to give meaning to the sentence. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    The teacher is in the classroom.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option D.
    We are to identify the articles in the given sentence.
    There are 3 articles in the English language i.e. A, AN and THE.
    Hence the article in the given sentence is THE.
    This option D is the correct answer.

    1. 'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
    2. 'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
    Option B is correct as 'The' indicates a specific star which the reader knows is the brightest star. Option A is incorrect as 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound to indicate a single countable noun. Option C is incorrect as 'A' is used for any word which is random in nature but the Sun is specific in nature.  Option D is incorrect as the blank needs an article to provide a suitable meaning.

  • Question 10

    Identify the article(s) in the following sentence:

    There are twelve candles on the cake.
    Solution
